Overview

Name: Rook
Apparent Age: Mid-to-Late 20's
Freehold: New-New Amsterdam
Seeming: Wizened
Court: Summer
Mask: Of average height and average build, there is nothing striking about him whatsoever, except for the hollow look on his face, and the dark circles under his eyes.
Mein: He is still hardly noticeable in appearance, though beneath his mask, Rook seems to melt into his surroundings. While not diminutive in stature, there is something unassuming about him. Unless you know of his reputation, that is...

Associates and Associations

Rook's thoughts on others...

  • Gaius - "Honor. Nobility. When you're nose to nose with an enemy, it's kill or be killed. Honor be damned."
  • Race - "Someone has to be the boogeyman. Race just can't understand...this was the role given to me. I must play my part, as he plays his."
  • Ox - "He may not be 'all there,' if you know what I mean, but he's got style. And by 'style,' I mean he'll tear your arm off, beat you to death with it and then eat it like a Kentucky Fried drumstick."
  • Static - "Crazier than a shithouse rat. Wait, was I supposed to follow that up with something nice?"
  • Myo - "No one sees my scars. No one."
  • Candlestick Jack - "He was just a kid. Kids shouldn't have to see the things he saw. But he's stronger for it."
  • Pawn - "You can't just walk into Sears and find the tools of -my- trade. That's when I call Pawn."
  • Doctor Emil Zahne - "Things are different today. Someone has to keep these dreams from taking over...to tranquilize the mind."
  • Copper - "Sometimes I'd spend three days at a time in the bush, waiting for a target of opportunity. Eating bugs with nothing to keep me company but my own stink, and a guy who wanted to talk about his high school sweetheart. But whenever it was done, Cowboy was the one they sent to extract me. I may not have let it show that I liked any of those sons of bitches, but damn - I was always happy to see his goofy grin."

  • C.J. - "An eye for an eye. No more. A tooth for a tooth. No more. Hopefully, the boy will wise up so there never need be more..."
  • The Magister - "What you gave me doesn't compare to what you took from me. I'm coming to get it back."

Quotes

  • "Rook and I have been through a lot of shit, I'm sworn to be at his side through hell or high water; but honestly I don't like the man. It's not that I don't want too, it's just... what happens when the time for killing is done? What happens when it's time to turn swords to plowshares, I'm not sure he'll be able to hack it... and I'm disturbed by what that will mean for the rest of us." - Horace "Race" Ardent
  • "Don't ask about the Hill. What Rook did there...the way he worked...if anybody deserves to go to Hell, it's him." - Doc Shepherd
  • "I know. I know. I can't agree with it. Its wrong. He keeps me safe though." - Dr. Emil Zahne
  • "We don't talk about it. We don't need to. It's better this way. I ask him no questions, and he tells me no lies." Erised
  • "King Erised says not to speak to Rook. He says that Rook does good things, but not always in good ways, and so I must not bother him. I think His Majesty is correct." - Elizabeth Ann Sexton
  • "Rook did what now? Well, shit, why y'all complainin'? Y'all still look 'live t' me. Jus' stay out th' boy's way." - Clyde
  • "He'd give me a soft word now and then. But it was always with those glassy eyes. Out of all of us, I imagine the Twilight King had to change him least." - Candlestick Jack
  • "We do what must be done." - Alexander Delapore
  • "Ol' Spooky always lived up to his nickname, and anyone who thought it was bullshit just had look into his eyes to see otherwise. Still he was one of my guys, and I did my level best to get him home every time. I still will." - Copper
  • "That guy's been looking at the world through an optic scope for too long. He probably forgot how it looks without one. Every time he looks at you, it's like he has a crosshair over your heart. Guess that's why he wears shades - so that people don't notice him doing that." - Alex Drake

Rumors

Feel free to add Rumors

  • Rook once took down 20 thugs in two minutes without being seen.
  • Rook prefers to keep to the shadowy alleys because he doesn't like to come face to face with his reflection.
  • Rook is actually a soulless construct created to mirror a Lost, but has failed to adopt the more humane aspects of such an existence.
  • Rook in reality is a banished true Fae that's forgotten it's Arcadian self. He exists as a mimicry of existence rather than being an actual person.
  • Rook once got into a fist fight with Jack Bauer. The winner got to continue on being a vigilante. The loser only got to play one on T.V.
  • Rook returned through the Hedge during the Giuliani Administration. And the mayor got all of the credit for cleaning up New York...
